The premise of the show is that the Dutton family is in constant conflict with the neighbors (Yellowstone Park and an Indian reservation), developers, townspeople, energy speculators, even other family members.

Filming has been an economic boon to the southern Bitterroot. Crews from the show also have filmed in Helena, on the Crow Reservation and in Utah.

The drama is expected to debut this summer on the new Paramount Network, which replaces Spike.

Mark Rogala, a Darby resident of 26 years, considers how the new mayor will help the town turn around. "It's nice to see the town realizing the logging industry isn't going to happen. We need to be attracting tourists," he said. TRIBUNE PHOTO/JULIA MOSS

Clifford Maki, 81, grew up and worked in a saw mill, just as his father had. "We couldn't get enough resources. We couldn't get enough logs to keep it going. You couldn't buy them cheap enough to make a profit," he recalls. TRIBUNE PHOTO/JULIA MOSS

J.C. McDowell was elected mayor a year after opening his nano-brewery, Bandit Brewing. "We intentionally have no wifi, no TV screens. We want you to have a conversation," he said. "All those conversations, the people talking about challenges, let to me becoming mayor." He hopes to act as a catalyst for the town to come to an agreement rather than decide their path for them.

Mitch McLain works a Custer re-enactor who promotes tourists in South Dakota's Black Hills but lives in Hamilton with his wife. "Being a re-enactor for 30 years, it puzzles me why this valley doesn't have more Lewis and Clark attractions. It's low-hanging fruit to promote yourself historically. TRIBUNE PHOTO/JULIA MOSS

Brooke Adams, from Denver, and Karen Ruckman, from California, sell raffle tickets for quilts to promote their August 13 quilt show. "A lot of people have relocated here because it's not a modern town," Adams said. "You can cross in the middle of the block, and the cars stop for you. It's laid back." TRIBUNE PHOTO/JULIA MOSS

Cheryl Littlejohn, a volunteer in the Bitterroot Chamber of Commerce's valley visitor center, discusses the many retirees relocating to the area. Those who aren't retired tend to bring their jobs with them. "It's beautiful. It's alittle shy on jobs, though, with the logging done with." TRIBUNE PHOTO/JULIA MOSS

Silhouetted in a window reflection of Main Street, Gene Huckstadt, owner of Old West Gallery Antiques and Gifts, gives his perspective on Darby's future.

Phil Bowler, a retiree from Idaho, spends part of every year in Darby to hike the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness. "I'm a real wilderness person, and it's a blessing to be connected with the wilderness here," he said. TRIBUNE PHOTO/JULIA MOSS

Nancy Kingsbury helps a customer at a convenience store in Sula. The place is for sale "because I'm old," she said. "I've been here 19 years and it's time to move on. If I wasn't younger, I wouldn't even think of selling." TRIBUNE PHOTO/JULIA MOSS

This remains the iconic image of the 2000 Bitterroot fires, which burned 350,000 acres. In the photo, a pair of cow elk stand in a river as flames light up the hillside behind them, Aug. 6, 2000, near Sula, Mont. Fire behavior analyst John McColgan took the photo from a bridge over the Bitterroot River. The photo, with no credit line, made its way into cyberspace. It now anchors the photo gallery on a fire information Web page and has been e-mailed by individuals around the country. The identity of the photographer and details of the blaze, however, seemed lost. ``I just happened to be in the right place at the right time,'' fire behavior analyst John McColgan said from his home in Fairbanks, Alaska, where the Missoulian newspaper had tracked him down. ``I've been doing this for 20 years and it ranks in the top three days of fire behavior I've seen.''

An area that burned in the summer of 2000 in the Bitterroot National Forest in Montana is shown in this undated file photo.
